We are two humans (Stu and Vicki), one dog (Ella) and a self-built Citroen Relay campervan (Fleur). We converted Fleur from the bare panel van she used to be into the little house on wheels that she is today. Now we’re making the most of her, driving and skiving as much as we can.
We are amateur campervan converters who had never attempted anything like this before. Forums, blogs and YouTube have been kind to us though, so here is our offering in return.
Here you’ll find a collection of what we’ve learnt since the beginning of our van conversion journey. We’re gradually compiling all the useful info we can think of, including comprehensive details of the conversion process, tips on camping with a dog, finding safe places to park up and tales of our experiences.
